    Issue at COSTCO today

    Well, I wanted to post an update here. Ended up speaking with the general manager who’s in charge of the entire Costco. He told me he was very sorry for the incident, and that it should’ve never happened. He said the person checking IDs to get in to Costco is not responsible for determining if...

    Issue at COSTCO today

    Yes, I agree with what you posted. Makes 100% sense. However, I’ve been going there for over a decade and have never seen anybody question in the manner. I was question. Now I wasn’t standing at the door hours a day every day, just when I go there, which is only a few seconds going through the...

    Issue at COSTCO today

    Yes, I would have reacted the same exact way, regardless of what the door checker looked like. I simply described him to paint a picture of the story I was telling. It felt like an invasion of privacy and a serious accusation made against me in front of at least a dozen people, as if I was on a...

    Issue at COSTCO today

    Yeah that’s a good point you make. I should’ve just smiled and kept walking and what was he going to do? The guy must have weighed 350 pounds and had a cane. But I’m an honest person… Probably too honest and honest to a fault. I lifted my shirt up and did a 360. Who else would’ve done that? But...

    Issue at COSTCO today

    Been going through a real hard time recently with a sick child who is receiving care out of state with my wife right now. They’ve been gone for over five weeks. H s had issues for 7 years now and it has really worn me (and my wife) down to the bones. Just feeling bad and stressed out so I...

    Fried turkey breast question

    Ok, appreciate it fellas. I wasn’t even thinking about the skin. Kind of the best part. Guess I’ll just cook at regular time.

    Fried turkey breast question

    Been doing fried turkeys for many years. Probably over the past seven or eight years we’ve just gotten a 7-8 lb turkey breast and deep-fried it. Usually takes about 45 minutes or so to cook. I’d like to have it done early this year and was wondering about something. Do you think it can be...

    Normal for a Blackstone?

    Yup…..looks like mine. Guess it’s “par for the course”.

    Normal for a Blackstone?

    Wow, I didn’t even consider looking at the “inside” where the burners are. I’m sure mine looks the same. I’m assuming the bottom of your actual griddle cooktop looks the same. Since the steel is so thick, I guess it’s more of an annoyance than an actual problem?

    Normal for a Blackstone?

    You know you said it right. A typical BS canned customer service response. Nothing powder coated rusted. It’s a heat shield which is bare metal. And I guess you’re right, the cook top is pretty thick. I’m not going to waste my time seasoning it as direct flame will just burn that oil completely...

    Normal for a Blackstone?

    Heard back from Blackstone customer service. Here’s what they said. Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us! I am so sorry to hear about that issue. Let me explain a little about our griddles to assist you with this. Our griddle tops (top and bottom) are manufactured from uncoated carbon...

    Normal for a Blackstone?

    I really have no idea if it should be done or not. I actually sent an email and pictures in to Blackstone and I’m waiting to hear back. Since it is four separate burners, that underside is exposed to direct flames. So no high heat spray paint will work and where the flame touches it will...

    Normal for a Blackstone?

    Yes, mine lifts off as well but I didn’t do it yesterday because I noticed right after cooking and it was still hot. Didn’t feel like messing with it. Maybe I’ll take it off today see if I can sand the bottom and put some oil on it. I’m wondering though how often that needs to be done?

    Normal for a Blackstone?

    Had my griddle for a little over 2 years. Have a top and keep it covered too. Was out cleaning it up today and noticed the storage shelf underneath looked real dirty. After wiping it down I noticed the paper towel looked orange. The rust was on the storage shelf but the shelf wasn’t rusting...
